lyrics

Harness the lamp light in your eyes, Jackie
There in the cold room where you lie, Jackie
Oh no, oh no, she'd never give herself away
Oh no, Oh no, please never give yourself away, Jackie
From my window I see you sitting there
Oh silent vision, don't hide behind your hair
Oh Jackie lies, hallowed be there,
Oh Jackie lies, hallowed be there,
Oh Jackie lies, lying alone

Harness the moonlight in your eyes, Jackie
Here in the graveyard where we lie, Jackie
Oh no, oh no, you never really did explain, Jackie
Oh no, oh no, you never really did explain, Jackie
Why heaven haloed a monumental child
Just to model an elegance so wild
Oh Jackie lies, hallowed be there,
Oh Jackie lies, hallowed be there,
Oh Jackie lies, hallowed be there

Harness the lamp light in your eyes, Jackie
There in the cold room where we lie, Jackie.
Oh no, Oh no, please never give yourself away, Jackie
Oh no, Oh no, please never give yourself away, Jackie

Afternoon Parade

A true hidden treasure of a song writer. This gent has been capturing songs in demo form on old tape recorders since the 80s. . . and he's still capturing his magic sounds in his secret basement. Damien Youth
